What a Astounding improvement! I delivered NABISCO cookies & crackers to Muskegon from 1959 to 1997 and saw some of the pollution you were addressing? FANTASTIC results!
Having been born and raised here, I have seen the rebound of Muskegon Lake and enjoyed its revitalization. Sadly, I have also watched the access and development of the shoreline of this lake dwindle down to either condominium complexes or other industry use. Some work has gone into preserving access. But, big money wins out over public access. The former Sappi site is a great example. We are now losing our only campground, besides the state park. How are folks supposed to come and enjoy a resource that has little access?
Very well done Dave! My dad told me a story recently that when he used to work as an engineer for Sealed Power in the early 80's, they were doing some drilling for foundation work over by the campground and kept hitting pockets of oil that had been sealed off some 100 feet down. This stuff had apparently been there since the late 1800's. Just bananas.
Coming from Silicon Valley, I had a pocket full of money and wanted to help transform Muskegon, so I started Blue House, more of a vision to transform old abandoned houses that were going to be demolished or continue to fall apart. But it's amazing to see all of the efforts required to bring a town back. I love Muskegon and your documentary is really well done. I'd love to see more of this for our beautiful little town.
Now you add the power company on Muskegon Lake that is being torn down as we speak for development, WatchMuskegonGo, Muskegon used to be a thriving town, full of people that worked and supported their family's, now it is much like Detroit , i agree, now time to clean p the mess, all the Lakaeshore city's are now all tourists traps !
Jim Plant and his wife Marylouise have contributed so much of their time and efforts to the city of Muskegon.
Well Done
